Common questions
My widget isn’t updating every second.
iOS limits how often widgets refresh, for every app. Widgetdeck saves new values when you open the app and a few times an hour otherwise. Countdowns (like “next class in 14 min”) are kept current by iOS itself.
Why do CPU and memory only change while the app is open?
Widgetdeck only reads them while the app is on screen, which saves battery. Apps can’t keep sampling in the background. The System Overview widget shows the last reading with its time.
Why doesn’t Widgetdeck show battery health or GPU usage?
iOS doesn’t give apps access to those.
My classes don’t show up.
Check that Calendar access is on for Widgetdeck (iPhone Settings → Apps → Widgetdeck) and that you picked your school calendars in the Student tab. Recurring weekly events are treated as classes. You can relabel any event, and the fix applies to the whole series.
What is “Leave by”?
A time on the Next Class widget telling you when to head to class. Open a course (Student → Courses) and choose Set time (for example 15 min before) or Auto. Auto asks Apple Maps how long the trip takes from where your iPhone is, using the travel mode you pick, and shows it as an estimate. It isn’t live: it’s worked out when Widgetdeck syncs. Leave-by alerts (notifications) are a separate switch under Student → Leave-by alerts.
The widget shows a long address instead of my room.
Open the course and type a Room (like “ICS 192”). Widgets show it; directions still use the calendar address. If your calendar notes mention a room, Widgetdeck offers it as a suggestion.
How do I redo the class setup?
Settings → Classes → Set up my classes again. Redo calendar setup also lets you pick your school calendars again.
How do I match my wallpaper?
Aesthetic → Theme Sync → pick your wallpaper photo. iOS doesn’t let apps read the wallpaper directly, so you choose the photo. Applying a theme recolours all your Widgetdeck widgets.
Is Widgetdeck free?
Yes, completely. There are no subscriptions or in-app purchases, and every widget and theme is included.
Delete my data.
